Our Town.

:" esslngton Springs is situated at the
eastern foot of the Washington Hills.
l1s altitude is about 500 feet higher
than that OF Huron and affords q beau
ulul view Of the surl rounding country.
IL derived Its name from the springs
That gush out from the Hills, and al
loru an lnexhaustable supply of the pu-
rest water. There are also large sui
phur springs, and and one said TO be
strongly impregnated with iron. These
springs are already famous for taeir
medicinal qualities and cause our town
to be called the Saratoga of Dakota"
1t is the county seat of Jerauld county
and is in nearly the exact geographical
center of the county, sixteen miles w est
of Woonsocket and about twenty-five
miles north of Plankinton. 1t has a
Methodist Episcopal church, and no sa-
looms. 1t contains two hotels and one
restaurant, two general merchandise
stores, one hardware store, two farm
implement shops, one drug store, one
bank; one barber shop, three feed STA.
bles, one livery stable, and one coal and
feed store. 1t is an excellent location
for flour mill and Il creamery, as the
water power is good and the surround
ing country demands them.

Bismarck, Special Telegram, Feb.
l0.-The promi sed woman suffrage bill
made Its appearance IN the house to-
day, drafted and introduced by the gall
liant old member from Sully, j NJ Moore.
ltis short and SIMPLY provides
That section II Of chapter 81. Of the
political code. be amended by striking
the word male where it occurs in said
section, and by inserting in said section
after the word "his," where it occurs.
the words "or her."
Mr.. Moore says he expects the bill to
pass. 1t is probable the bill will pass
the house very much as a similar bill
did two gears ago, in the expectation
that it will be defeated by the council.

INTERsTATH FISHERIES.
what the Jeraey sturgeon Fishers
LEARN from Governor Green.


TRENTON, June 10.-Governor Green has
taken a step in the sturgeon fishery dis
pute. He has written a letter. 1t is an
open letter addressed to those Interested. In
answer to numerous inquiries respecting
the dispute between Delaware and New
Jersey. After stating that he proposes to
protect the rights of Jersey fishermen to
the utmost, the governor writes:
''The Injunction which protects the citi-
zens OF New Jersey from molestation ap-
plies only to the river Delaware which lies
north of line extending from Cohansey
Lighthouse to Bombay Hook point. A
violation OF this Injunction is contempt
OF the Supreme Court, which Delaware has
disavowed, both by the declaration Of her
governor and the reference OF the question
of the dividing line to tho attorney-gen-
eral. l have heard OF no molestation OF
our citizens within the prescribed limits.
II there should be, II would be my
duty at once to call the attention of the
Governor OF Delaware to a breach OF the
injunction as well as the agreement between
the states In reference to the right of the
State Of Delaware to prevent any one With
out a license from that State from fishing
on their side of the channel below the di-
vidlng line between the river and bay.
refer you to the report of Attorney General
John p. Stockton, made to Governor Albeit
under date of August 18th, 1885, O copy
OF which / enclose. The Att0rney-G Gem
eral quotes the high authority of Chief
| Justice Shaw to the effect that until 1t has
been directly determined by the Supreme
Court of the United States that a law ap-
propriating the coast fisheries within terri
| torlal limits Of state to the Inhabitants
| of the commonwealth is repugnant to the
| Constitution of the United States and void,
| 1t must be deemed an open question to be
determined by the competent tribunals
| when 1t arises"
"If the State OF Delaware is, as you sup
/ pose, attempting to enforce laws which de-
Drive the citizens of any other states OF
rights which they have long enjoyed, any
| citizen Of any other state has the unques-
| toned right to test tho constitutionality OF
| such legislation In the court OF the United
States whose province 1t Is to settle such
matters. In conclusion, beg that yon will
assure your association of the interest that
| that take In this and all other matters
which affect their welfare. will watch
carefully any proceedings which may occur
in the matter, and shall tilSe care, so far ae
It lies in my power, that their rights shall
ba proteoted."

respectively 20, IL and 10 years. Mrs. drif-
flth for month past had shown signs OF
deeaying mind and was under tho care oil

About 8 O'Clock this morning the family
heard a noise In Mrs. Grimth's room, and
her sister-ln. law on going to the room found
the demgpted woman leaning over her ~
years-old daughter Mabel with u heavy
bladed razor In her hand hacking at the
child's neck.
Startled by the sudden appearance OF hei
slster .in-law the woman deliberately drew
the keen blade across her own throat. Hell
slster-in-law tried to wrest tho sharp IN
strument from her, but was too lata as hel
throat was cut and she fell to tho iloor III
pool of blood.
Before medical aid could be summoned
both mother and daughter were dean
Mabel's school books were lying on chiltfs
rocking chair In one corner, whiie tht
whole appearance of tho room showed tha
